What the New Moon Means
First, let's talk about what the new moon represents in a general sense. When the moon is in its dark phase, it marks a time of new beginnings, renewal, and rebirth. Outside, the night is shrouded in darkness as the lunar cycle begins anew. It's the perfect time to reset yourself in preparation for the next month, and it's the time to make your intentions clear, set goals, and take account of all the ways you've grown throughout the previous moon cycle. The new moon represents a reset of the lunar cycle. So, it's a perfect time to reset yourself as well. This is known as the white moon cycle for women who bleed during the new moon.
Women having their periods during the new moon should take extra care to relax. The new moon is also a time of darkness and inner transformation. As we approach winter, this is doubly true as we enter the darkest time of year, where the earth herself is resting and building her energy for the spring.
